James Brown "Soul and Funky" Album Review

Pure unadulterated, nasty, booger nosed funk!
You can't ask for a better anthology than this one. The tracks are all classics and what impressed me very much were the liner notes, which gave a nice detailed mini bio on the band's history, which I knew very little of. It's a great read and goes into the tension between key members of the group. I know more about them now and that's a good thing!

In the end, you will recognize many of these tracks because they've been sampled nearly to death. I think every track here has been used multiple times by various hip hop artists and I was actually surprised enough to say, 'Oh, so that's where they got that loop from!' more than a couple of times.

Oh yeah, before I forget, I think Eddie Murphy said it perfectly when he commented that there was no way the band understood anything that James Brown was saying to them. Listen to the first track on this disc and see if you agree.

One of the best purchases you can make, without any reservations.

Parkes "Heart and Soul Nexus" Album Review

Excellent cd
This is a great cd. The title says it all with "Heart & Soul".<br>beats are smooth and lyrics are very good. Vacal arrangement is also excellent. Its easy to realate to what he talks about in his songs.
